How can I be sure that IRIS is helping the City to conserve drinking water?
IRIS benefits everyone
By reclaiming a valuable freshwater resource and reducing our withdrawal from the aquifer that is our source of drinking water the City of Boca Raton Utility Services Department is helping ensure the sustainability of our regional water supply.

By using IRIS water instead of drinking water to irrigate, customers have already been able to make a notable impact. Since 1996, the City and our customers have saved over ten billion gallons of drinking water. Please call 561-338-7310 for more information.
